The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Rafael’s POV

Even though I was so fucking angry with Natalie, I was very worried about her. I don’t know why she acted that way. Did I hurt her during the intercourse without me realizing it?

Before I left the room, my gaze fell on the small drops of blood on the bed sheet and my heart sank. Maybe I really hurt her.

As soon as I arrived at the reception, I saw Jack standing there and his expression was grim. He came once I called him.

The receptionist asked, “Sir, how can I help you?”

I ordered in a firm tone, “Extend the reservation of Miss Natalie for one week.”

“Okay sir. Do I keep the reservation under the same name?” He asked.

“Yes, yes. Do not allow anyone to enter, even the cleaning workers.”

He stared at me for a second in confusion, then mumbled, “Noted.”

Jack asked me while we were going out of the hotel, “What was all this about? And where is she?”

I got in Jack’s car and replied with frustration, “I don’t know, she is gone.”

“Gone? What happened?” He asked again.

I hit the driving wheel before him and growled, “Shut the f**k up, you damn. Can’t you just swallow your tongue?”

He blinked in shock, then exclaimed, “Woow! What’s happening with you man!?”

I glared at him without saying anything, but the anger and depression on my face told him he’d better keep his mouth shut. So he did.

Before Jack could park the car before the villa gate, I opened the car door and got off. I headed straight towards her room. I was angry and was going to quarrel with her. But when I opened her room door and heard the sound of running water in the bathroom, I calmed down a little and wished I could join her.

I felt reassured. I was hesitant to get into her room though. I had never run after a woman who dumped me immediately after we fucked up.

In fact, no woman had left me before.

So, that was the feeling of abandonment!!? It really hurts.

Finally, after a long hesitation, I decided to go to my room, and give her the space to think until morning. I closed her room door quietly and headed to mine.

I couldn’t sleep, so I lay on bed and started working on my laptop. It was my way of keeping my personal issues out of my mind. I used to run from frustration and anxiety to working overtime.

I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but I woke up with a constant small knock on my door.

“Come in” I said in a harsh voice.

Aunt Tobi rushed in, she looked nervous.

“Do you know where Natalie is!? She acted in a strange way this night. Suddenly, she left the party. I thought I would find her at home, but I couldn’t find her in her room or at any place in the house. Then she texted me and said she was going with a friend for a trip. Did she tell you about this friend?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

I jumped out of bed.

“What!?” I snapped.

Then rushed towards her room, “Maybe she is still around. Have you searched in her room?” I exclaimed.

Tobi became more agitated. She combed her hair with her fingers trying to reduce her stress and said, “Yes, I thought that before, but the security man showed me the records of the camera, she snuck out of the house after midnight while carrying a middle-sized bag with her”

She stared at my eyes and added, “The way she snuck out seemed abnormal. Why would she sneak out in that way? That is what made me suspicious, especially because she didn’t mention this trip before.”

I was speechless, confused and shocked by the news. Tobi was glaring at my face and waiting for me to say something.

I couldn’t believe what I heard, so I took my phone to call her.

“I called her, but her phone was off,” Tobi said before I dialed.

I clenched my fists ready to punch anything. I couldn’t believe it was all just because we had sex…. I couldn’t understand why this overreaction.

“What should we do, son? Her safety is your father’s last guardianship. I’m afraid someone might hurt her”, Tobi begged.

I rushed to the security office next to the gate.

Sam, the head security guard, was sitting at his desk intently examining with high focus the records of the security camera on the screen before him.

“How did she go out and no one noticed? Do I have a guard or a sleeping bag? Why am I even paying you money!!? To sleep!!” I roared.

Sam and the other men stood. Sam looked at me with a guilty expression on his face. “I’m sorry, Mr Merrin. I had no idea how that happened. We weren’t used to actions like that. I will take full responsibility though, and make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

“Who was guarding the gate this night?” I snapped.

Two of my guards, Azora and Fred, took a step forward, bowing down. I growled, “Where were you at that time?”

They stared at each other. Fred stammered while he was wiping the sweat on his forehead, “We are really sorry Mr. Merrin. We …”

I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and hissed from between my gritted teeth, “Are you trying to tell me that you two were falling asleep at work?”

Sam quickly said: “Calm down, sir. Please. We will get to the bottom of this and investigate further.”

I was furious, and ready to smash their fucking faces. I don’t know if I was angry because of their neglect or about feeling insulted though!!

But it was not the right time now. I took a deep breath, trying to control my anger.

“You better find her as soon as possible!” I threatened.

“Noted, sir”, he bowed his head.

When I watched the camera footage, I noticed that she had planned everything. She intended that we would not be able to see where she was going or who took her.

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.

I slammed my palm on the desk table in frustration and fury.
